3. A folding chair, including a pair of "long leg members, a pair of short leg members pivoted on said long leg members at a point in rear of the longitudinal Center line of the long leg members, a back having movable connection With the long leg members at a point therein in rear of the longitudinal center line thereof, said back having movable eonnec'tion with the said short leg members at a point in rear of the longitudinal center line. of said short leg members, a seat, a pair of links having pivotal Connection with said seat and pivotal connection with said long leg members at a point in front of the longitudinal center line there@ f, the whole .arranged in such manner that the short leg members andthe seat and back will fold within the said long leg members on either side of the longitudinal center thereof whereby t-he said short leg members, the seat and back lie entirely Within the said long leg members when the chair is in a full folded position. f
